title: The Construction of Jewish Cultural Identity  in The Ten Commandments Movie
creator: Witriani, -
subject: Adabiyyat Jurnal
description: The research aimed to find out how Jews  reconstructed their identity as a nation, religion, or as a part of  American society through media and biblical movies. ‘The Ten  Commandments’ is one of the significant films to present Jews and  Christianity in the framework of religious popular movies. From  time to time, this narrative frequently interests the cineaste from  both the Hollywood industry and television series. Despite various  forms of representation on screen, the story of The Ten  Commandments is exactly about the Torah, the biblical story about  how God revealed the Ten Commandments through Moses to the  people of Israel. This narrative is the primary source that is  usually assumed as the basic understanding of Christianity and  Judaism. Focusing on the Judeo-Christian heritage as represented  in The Ten Commandments, the research applies the Critical  Discourse Analysis by Van Dijk, and Stuart Hall’s representation  to see the relation of this notion to the acceptance of Jews among  the Christians. The study finds that concerning their relationship  with the Christians so far, for Jews, this kind of movie is like a  voice of the Jews to see their relationship with Christians in a  different way. The Jews, or the people of Israel, are indeed a part  of Christianity. Both share similar narratives, messengers,  experiences, and even conduct similar traditions of the ancient  law, though the differences on theological structures between the  two and disagreement toward certain things cannot be negotiated.
